New Ireland assistant coach Amber Whiteley is to complete the season as interim manager of Liverpool and harbours ambitions of being upgraded to permanent boss.

Matt Beard’s second stint with the Reds was halted by the club hierarchy this week. The Pool impressively finished fourth in the Women’s Super League last season but sit seventh this term after just four wins in 14 games.
